WASHINGTON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a new and stronger set of greenhouse gas standards for heavy-duty vehicles for model years 2027 through 2032, building from the “Phase 2” greenhouse gas standards established in 2016.

The agency made the announcement on Wednesday, April 12.

These “Phase 3” greenhouse gas standards “would significantly reduce carbon emissions from heavy-duty vehicles and, through the increased use of zero-emission vehicle technology projected in the proposal, would also reduce emissions of smog and soot-forming pollutants and help to address the challenges of global climate change and air pollution in communities near major roadways,” according to an EPA news release.

Todd Spencer, president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, called it a “regulatory blitz on small-business truckers.”

“The latest proposal comes on the heels of a hurried NOx emissions rulemaking finalized in December, along with a California waiver mandating sales of electric trucks,” Spencer continued. “Today’s announcement is a blatant attempt to force consumers into purchasing electric vehicles while a national charging infrastructure network remains absent for heavy-duty commercial trucks.”

If truck drivers would save up enough money so that they could go on strike for a year, or 6 months at least, they could cure this bs very quickly.


No freedom parades to the capitol, no nonsense like that, just park them.


Just park em, this country would be on its knees in a week.
